Harness Cultivator

Yu Xiuying made a muffled groan as she tried to push Lee Tao away.

"L-Lee Tao… stop it," Yu Xiuying muttered as she felt the inside of her mouth being invaded by his tongue.

A few minutes went by, and Lee Tao finally released his grasp on him.

He licked his lips lasciviously with a smile on his face.

"Instructor Yu Xiuying, you taste so sweet like honey." Lee Tao said.

Yu Xiuying's face was completely red as she glared at him.

"Did you know what you just did is sexual assault and I can kill you right now for such audacity?" Yu Xiuying shouted.

Lee Tao nodded his head.

"Of course you can, but I doubt you won't." Lee Tao said as he approached her. 

"After all, you could have easily used your cultivation base to knock me away." He whispered sweetly.

Yu Xiuying clicked her tongue as she glared at him. 

"Now tell me what that worm is." She asked.

Lee Tao smiled as he shall give her a little detail. 

Taking advantage of her this much and if he still refuses to give her some hints, then he is really shooting himself in the foot.

"The worm you referred to is a parasite species, commonly known as the Phantom Worm." Lee Tao said.

"Phantom Worm?"

"Mhmm, they are extremely secretly little bitches that would latch onto a cultivator when their guards are down. Afterward, they would start leeching your profound qi, causing your health to deteriorate until you can no longer endure and die." 

"D-Die? Doesn't that mean Yao Meixiang, Jia Qiu, and Meng Xue were in a life and death situation?" Yu Xiuying asked in a dumbfounded tone.

She had simply thought the illness was causing them to be bedridden, but never life-threatening as their pulse rate was still normal.

Not to mention, the alchemists and her had also checked on their profound qi to see if they are any abnormal activity. Yet they had found nothing, much less expect a parasite creature to be residing inside their body.

Lee Tao could only spread his arms wide as he heaved a soft sigh.

"Well, at least they are lucky enough to meet me. Otherwise, the Phantom Worm would search for another host once they die and if the situation is still not resolved. Then, the entire Tianyun Kingdom would become their nutrition farm to feast on." 

Hearing the severity of Lee Tao's words, Yu Xiuying couldn't help but imagine the chaos and disaster that would occur in their Tianyun Kingdom.

"I have to inform Principal Song Yanmei about this information as soon as possible." Yu Xiuying said as she deactivated the spatial barrier.

However, before she left, her eyes locked onto Lee Tao. 

"What?" Lee Tao asked when he could feel her somewhat malicious intent.

Yu Xiuying extended her hand out as she flicked it multiple times.

"Goodbye," Lee Tao waved his hand as he prepared to turn around to leave.

There was no way in hell he would give up his prize reward after spending so much effort into curing them.

The Phantom Worms are now his property and he refused to give his spoils to someone else.

Alas, escaping was impossible when Yu Xiuying blocked his way. 

"Nuh-uh, you're not leaving, Lee Tao. You better hand over the Phantom Worm since you kissed me without my will." Yu Xiuying said.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through every fiber of Lee Tao.

"No can do, Instructor Yu Xiuying." Lee Tao remained firm as he shook his head.

"The Phantom Worm is not some toy where you can handle. One mistake and you could possibly create a wasteland." He added.

"Since that's the case, you might as well come with me to meet Principal Song Yanmei."

"Umm, no… that's not how it works. The Phantom Worms are safe and sound with me." 

With that said, Lee Tao activated his movement technique to get away from her.

"Oh no, you're not getting away." Yu Xiuying snorted coldly as she chased after him.

Sometime later, Lee Tao was running left and right as he couldn't escape from Yu Xiuying.

'Damn it, why is she so persistent?' Lee Tao cursed inwardly.

"Xiao Chu, any method to disable her profound qi temporarily?" Lee Tao asked.

"I can send some of my profound qi to hit on her vital point to temporarily disable her. However, the side-effects and consequences of doing so could possibly result in her cultivation being halted." Xiao Chu responded.

"Do you still want me to do it?" She asked.

Lee Tao twitched his mouth.

"Nah, forget about it. I'll save that function for my enemy." Lee Tao said as he stopped himself.

Waiting for a few seconds, Yu Xiuying arrived behind him as she held a solemn expression.

"Have you finally decided to give up?" 

"Just what is with you? This has nothing to do with you yet you insist on putting your nose in it." 

"That species in your hand is something that could threaten the Tianyun Kingdom. As a citizen of the Tianyun Kingdom, I cannot allow you to walk away with such a dangerous species." 

Lee Tao sighed softly as he wondered if everyone in the Tianyun Kingdom was crazy.

Why are they so persistent in defending something that will sooner or later corrode with the passage of time?

Alas, Yu Xiuying wasn't an Immortal, so she doesn't understand that as time passes, nothing really matters anymore except for their goal.

"Fine, if you want to have it, you'll have to give up something," Lee Tao said.

"What is it? I doubt you want money." Yu Xiuying replied as she took a step forward.

"I can give you one Phantom Worm, but I want the Tianyun Academy's artifact in return." 

"..."

Yu Xiuying held a dumbfounded expression as she stared at him.

"How did you know about the academy having an artifact?" She asked.

"Oh please, if it weren't for the academy safekeeping that artifact, I wouldn't even attend the academy in the first place.
